Despite the fact that I am a proud New-YoRican, God called me to serve with the Jersey Metro Team of Campus Crusade for Christ in the Garden State known as New Jersey.
In August of 2008 I began raising support to be a full-time missionary with Campus Crusade for Christ on the college campuses of New Jersey. Here’s an update on the past six years of my life:
As a freshman at Kean University in 2003 studying to work as an interpreter for the Deaf, I began to develop a love for sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and fellowshipping with other believers. The staff of Campus Crusade for Christ sought me out and helped me learn how to consistently draw nearer to the Lord and clearly communicate my faith with not-yet believers. Over the following four years as I studied to be an interpreter, I also grew strong in my relationship with God and peers.
In May of 2007 my love for the Lord surpassed my love for interpreting and after I graduated with a bachelor’s degree I became an intern with Campus Crusade for Christ. On the New Jersey Metro campus ministry team, I had the opportunity to work especially close with young women on college campuses in the Northern counties of New Jersey and a few deaf students from all around the state. During a conference for Juniors & Seniors called “neXt” in 2008, God placed it on my heart to join staff full-time. I’m excited about this move because for many years I have had the desire to serve the Lord through ministering to young adults.

I can’t wait to help bring college students into an active fulfilling relationship with Jesus Christ so that they find themselves eternally happy with God’s relentless love and walking in the Holy Spirit to display that love to the world!
Until that time arrives, I'm raising support as my full-time job. Sadly, I cannot report to campus to do what I'm passionate about until I am at 100%. As of now, I'm at 59% and meeting new people to discuss the ministry with.
If you're interested in partnering or learning more, stay tuned.
